Question

I’m a little new to asp.net mvc and I have a question (very basic). I have hacked around but I am not totally sure about this and I could’nt find anything particularly helpful.

Assume that I have 2 controllers A and B and 2 views FullView and PartView

public class AController:...
{
      //Renders FullView
      public ActionResult Create
      {
        ....
      }

      [HttpPost]
      public ActionResult Create
      {
        ....
      }
}


public class BController:...
{
      //Renders an Arbitrary partial View (PartView)
      public ActionResult Create
      {
        ....
      }

      //Saves the data of the partial View
      [HttpPost]
      public ActionResult Create
      {
        ....
      }
}

the 1st view (FullView) has the code

<%Html.RenderAction("Create", "B"); %>    

my question is on submit will BController’s action ([HttpPost] Create) run?

Thank you

That depends on what action you specify in your <form /> tag. This doesn’t have anything to do with asp.net mvc. If you use Html.BeginForm() without parameters it will post to the current url (not the create action on BController).
